The window style that you choose for your home affects its functionality, indoor comfort and resale value. Window contractors can help you decide on a window style that suits your needs and complements the overall look of your home.
Double hung windows are classic choices that complement a wide range of architectural styles. These windows open both the top and bottom sashes, making them easy to clean and provide good ventilation.
Pass-through windows
Pass-through windows are a stylish and functional addition to any kitchen, enhancing connectivity and allowing for easy passage of food or beverages between spaces. They are especially popular in kitchens that face outdoor living areas, facilitating the transfer of food and drinks during entertaining and creating a natural flow between interior and exterior living spaces.
A carefully planned pass-through window can also offer a practical extension of your countertop, making it easy to serve guests without navigating doorways or snagging on furniture. For extra protection, consider adding a retractable insect screen to your window, keeping pests out and fresh air in.
Available in new construction or as a replacement, kitchen pass-through windows come in various styles to fit your needs and architectural style. Choose a pocketing application, where the window panels disappear into the wall to maximize your opening, or a sliding application for a less-costly installation that still offers unobstructed access.
Picture windows
Picture windows infuse your home with natural light and offer expansive views that connect seamlessly with the outdoors. They can even elevate a simple backyard or garden to beautiful works of living art. Combined with other window styles, they can create cozy reading nooks or dining spaces.
Their fixed nature maximizes energy efficiency and permits larger sizes than operable windows. They also complement modern architectural styles.
When working with a trusted window company, homeowners can personalize their picture windows by choosing the right frame materials and finishes. From the warmth of rich wood to the sleekness of metal, there’s an option that suits every taste and design aesthetic.
In addition, energy-efficient picture windows minimize heat transfer and can reduce your heating and cooling costs. Choose windows with low-E coatings and double or triple-pane glass for enhanced thermal performance.
Double-hung windows
Double-hung windows are popular for their timeless aesthetic and energy-saving features. They help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature and lower energy costs by reducing drafts and keeping the home insulated. They also prevent harmful UV rays from entering the home, protecting furniture and artwork from fading over time.
Double hung windows are made from different materials, including vinyl, aluminum and wood, to meet homeowner needs for durability and style. Vinyl double hung windows are the most common because they offer a stylish look and are highly resistant to rotting, warping and peeling.
They can be customized with a range of colors, finishes and grille patterns for a personalized design that blends well with any home architecture. They can also be fitted with argon gas between window panes and low-E coating for improved insulation.
Full frame installation
Full-frame installation is a great option for existing homes with wood frames that are either damaged or worn out. It entails removing the entire window, including trim, down to the rough opening of wall studs, essentially giving homeowners a clean slate to work with.
This method is also useful for homes with crooked windows, as the replacement window can be customized to fit within existing frames. Additionally, this type of install allows for a more comprehensive moisture-proofing solution, since contractors can address issues like rot and leaks in the process.
Energy-efficient windows are a smart investment for Ferndale residents, as they can help reduce utility costs and improve indoor comfort. Argon or krypton gas is often used to displace air between double-pane windows, improving insulation and preventing drafts. Low-emissivity glass can also be added to these windows, blocking UV rays that can cause carpets and furniture to fade over time.
Bay windows
If you’re looking for a way to improve the visual appeal of your home without the costs and invasiveness of full window replacement, consider bay windows. These windows enhance natural light and space and are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms, and family nooks.
With their graceful curves and architectural depth, bay windows are a beautiful addition to any property. They provide panoramic views and allow sunlight to flood rooms, creating a bright ambiance. They also add value to homes and amplify curb appeal.
